Nonsense

Restless eyes batted senselessly keep me awake.

Numbing illusion grabs hold of my feeble mind and I weep at the thought of my own destruction.

"Savior, savior, where art thou?

Hast thou left me to my own devices?"

Trouble, trouble, all around.

Madness wreaks my daunted mind

Shadows leap the unkept room

Dance back to canto ye demons of old!

Ravishing through the harrows of an untidy brain

Checking for sanity, what little remains,

The pace quickens

The plot thickens 

It's madness in the mind of a passerby!

I see a helpless fellow,

Whose wings are too heavy to let him fly

And his heart too weary to let him abandon his own mortality.

Fool, I say.

Fool for being so careless, where he puts his love. 

Should be kept in a sacred jar

And locked away.

"Nay nay" stranger overhears,

"My heart was right

My heart was just,

I must fight to win what I call mine for love is only given to those who fight for it."

I let him live his fantasy,

Poor boy who committed too many crimes and only wants more chances.

However, I think, persistence is rewarded to those with justice in their hearts.

I think it not too heavy after all. 

And then I wake in the treacherous night

To realize that the boy

Was me.
